The Rooftop Concert Series is back!

After a six-year hiatus, one of downtown Provo’s favorite summer traditions returns in 2026 with free outdoor concerts complete with the same spirit that made the series a solid contribution to Provo’s music scene for a decade.

Originally founded in 2010 by Sarah Wiley, Mindy Gledhill, Courtney Kendrick, and Justin Hackworth, the Rooftop Concert Series began as a simple idea: bring great live music to downtown Provo and make it free for everyone. What followed was ten years of packed summer nights, unforgettable performances, and a growing sense that something special was happening in the middle of the city.

From emerging local bands to nationally recognized artists, Rooftop helped spotlight the creative talent coming out of Provo while giving families, students, neighbors, and music fans a place to gather. Cue the shared memories!

Oh, sure, the series concluded in 2019 after a real nice ten-year run, but its influence never really disappeared. Folks kept talking about it. Bands remembered it. And for many who grew up attending the shows, Rooftop became part of their story of Provo.

Now, thanks to the support of the McGowan Family Foundation, the Rooftop Concert Series is returning for a new generation of concertgoers.

The 2026 season begins Friday, May 15, at Nu Skin Plaza in downtown Provo, featuring I Don’t Know How But They Found Me, Sego, and Pinguin Mofex. Admission is free and open to the public.

At its heart, Rooftop is still what it has always been: a celebration of music, community, creativity, and downtown Provo.

Bring your friends. Bring your family. And feel free to sing out loud.

We’ll see you downtown.
